[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] You got lucky. If LAMB started it's charter today it would not have the luxury of two lotteries. LAMB two-charter exception was granthfathered in under the old charter laws. So it is mighty fine of you to sit on your high horse and say what you would and should do when not faced with the same circumstances and rules. In addition, I would say that the combined Hispanic community with it's multiple ethnicities quadruple the small DC Chinese community.  There are more hispanics to go around, even if the only thing they may have in common is a shared language with varying dialects.   [/quote]

LAMB guy here.  So your school doesn't have an administrator who can speak to the local community and the parents association isn't asking for one because they have "no power."  You don't do outreach because you're focused on building a playground and a middle school.  You drive out bilinguals you get by making their kids feel rotten for eating their ethnic food.  But you just want your children to learn Mandarin right, never mind all this Chinese culture and community crap.

We don't have a lot of Spanish speakers because we have a lottery for them,  we have them because we understand that they add value and treat 'em right, on their terms.  You people are pathetic and need your heads examined.  [/quote]
